If Maxine McKew wants to show the world her waxed bits, that's her choice. I had not even looked at her skirt until the feminists went up in arms - a storm in a tea cup. Thanks Ms Posetti for entertaining me, but you are a bitter clown. Get over it! If Maxine McKew wants to show the world her waxed bits, that’s her choice.

Out comes her misogynist accusations for those views she can't comprehend...poor thing, she comes across as a 'born too late' feminist...she needs to travel to broaden her mind...too long in Canberra.

There is definitely nothing scandalous about the photo unless your from one of the many forms of taliban around the place today.

Far from a perve's eye view it was obviously taken by a crouching photographer at above elbow level. Just draw the lines. And whysay nothing about Howard's hands?

I wonder if Alan Ramsay received the same sort of vitriolic response to his column on the issue which expressed a similar viewpoint?

My gripe is not with the photographer but the Editor's decision to publish the shot which I maintain was in poor taste.
